Cafe Greg

Church Farm, Ardeley

Hit the spot with hot organic beans, carefully crafted “pantone 466” wholemeal toast, large pot of tea. A great cafe with an informal atmosphere and friendly staff. http://www.churchfarmardeley.co.uk/.Dish of the day is pictured... more...

Single handedly Jake dished out 10 “beans-on” almost before we’d sat down in the sun. Toast nicely done, beans could have been a tad hotter, coffee and tea on-the-money! In fact great value all round - We’ll deffo be back there. more...

Giambrone, Hertford. The Italian job! One of our top top cafes. Great atmosphere. Italian through and through with all the wonderful food and delicacies that you’d expect... and of course GREAT COFFEE ! A special mention for the Date Flapjack and Toasted Ciabattas. Service:11/10 Great food, hot, and delivered fast. That’s how we like it :)

Cafe Copia, the newly discovered gem in Henley-on-Thames. Situated in Market Square with the bonus of outside seating. Super fast service with premium grade coffee on the table almost before you’d sat down. Fresh food and a fine cakes n pastry selection, friendly staff. The Blue Train will be back.

Westmill Tea Room. Westmill Tea Room

Located on the village green the view is idillic. Coupled with this is a good quality food offering and decent coffee. Sometimes hard to get a seat if it’s a big group.

Cinnamon Cafe in Royal Windsor. Now firmly established as one of The Gregarios’ favourite cafes. Located in the old booking hall in Windsor Royal Station this super cafe is rammed with cyclists at the weekend, and if you’ve visited Majorca it’s a similar atmosphere to sitting in the square at Petra, Their offering ranges from possibly the world’s best apricot flapjack, to their signature cinnamon square, and the “the roadman’s choce” the perennial beans on toast and grade A coffee. This fine fare is coupled with probably the fastest service we’ve ever seen at any cafe anywhere. It’s almost waiting for you before you’ve ordered. How the heck do they do that?!

Whitewater’s Deli, Wendover. At the gateway to The Chilterns there’s always a warm welcome for the Gregarios together with great food and coffee. Scrambled on toast or panninis always a favourite. Seating either indoors or on their pavement patio. What’s not to like?!

Velo Life, Warren Row. Situated in the middle of nowhere but not that far from Henley this Cycling Cafe is, as you’d expect, rammed with bike riders. The toasties are excellent, and if you’ve a sweet tooth you’ll be in cloud cucoo-land. They also serve really good coffee.

Vanstone Park Garden Centre, Codicote. Formerly just a garden centre caff, but now newly revamped and punching above it’s weight. Serving excellent coffee and a wide selection of hot food and delicious looking cakes all served fast and with a smile. Well done Van!
